This afternoon I want to focus my contribution on the actual motion, which has two components: one, the undemocratic processes that have been adopted by the UK Government and Prime Minister, and the second one, the impact of a 'no deal' Brexit upon the people we represent here. And when I hear contributions—and I've just heard one—where people simply ask the question, 'Why have we been recalled?', I can tell you why: because the issues in that motion affect the people we represent and our work, and the actual ability not to understand that questions your role in this institution, and I think that's disgraceful.
